Publishing a novel is a ride.

So heart max warmed by some very lovely reviews in this weekend’s papers.

Publication day for this little slimeball.

Got home to box o’ books, fresh from the printer.

"Sly and sexy" - Vogue
on my headstone.

The book popped up in the paper.

Then I ate a delicious scone.

First finished copy of the new book arrived today.

With kind words from the legends Jock Serong and Kate Mildenhall.

It’s out on Feb 4.

I am happy. I am grateful. I am going for a swim.

I loved Piranesi. Been thinking of it often for a couple of years.

It makes me wonder if I’m missing other great books because they’re fantasy-adjacent and I’m fantasy-ignorant.

Is there anything else that feels like Piranesi? Magical, literary, beautiful, dreamy.

Little help?

Saturday was exhuming the cast iron bathtub that I discovered buried in the middle of my backyard.

It’s the little things.

Made a new dinner table. Salvaged oak and ironbark go-faster-stripe. Yet to collapse 🪚

I wrote a book and it's out in February, 2025. And it will look a lot like this. Peace.
